D is for Dave. Dave: the Man, the Myth, the Legend--need I say more?
E means excited--Heather and Theresa are excited to start scholl, Drew- not so much

N stands for normal, which we proudly are not :)
O means outside, where the kids are most of the time. Dave and I are witnessing the kids spreading their wings.......

Q is for quiet- Dave and I love to spend quiet nights at home either reading, watching a movie or just talking and snuggling
R means remeber when. I look at pictures of the kids from our wedding and i can't believe how much they have grown--physically and emotionally. They are all taller than me.
S is for "stinky", our universal term of endearment.
T stands for Theresa. Our spunky girl goes by Caitlyn at school, but to us she will always be tiny Theresa.
U is for all of you, and how thankfull we are to have you all as a part of our world.

Z means "Zat's all folks!" Ha, ha, ha!

I tag Crystal, Elisa, Hiram, Becca.

Theresa

Sweet 16. I can hardly believe it! She is passionate, witty, contemplative--so much like her Dad. Her artwork and creativity amaze me. She works hard at her goals and won't let anything derail her ambitions. She loves music; and will listen to anything that is "good" (which includes heavy metal, top 40, oldies, country, 80's stuff.....) She loves to be active-exploring, drawing, walking, anything to be out of the house. She earns mostly A's in school and can participate in our "grown up" discussions of politics and current events. I remeber when she would be he last one at the breakfast table because she had to eat her Fruit Loops one color at a time. I can count on her to be the responsible kid and keep the other 2 in line. She has a bright future ahead, and we are honored to be her parents.

Drew

15 years ago, he changed my world forever. He entered the world at 2 lbs, 9 oz and 9 weeks early. We grew up a lot, together. He has great taste in music (TMBG, Beattles, AC/DC, My Chemical Romance, Guns and Roses, much more), plays the trumpet, loves animal documentaries. He has developed a good sense of humor and is still refining when to employ this sarcasm. He still LOVES Star Wars; I remember when he would have me wear the laundry basket on my head and say to me "you be Darff, I be Guke." as he handed me the broomstick/lightsaber. He hangs out with his friends (including Heather and Theresa) most of the time. They go on hikes and play video games. He has grown so much and is an amzing person. I am proud of the young man he is and look forward to the joy he has yet to bring us. He still gives me unsoliceted hugs, I will enjoy it while they last.
